摘要
This Letter describes a study of the DC and microwave characteristics of resonant-tunnelling hot electron transistors (RHETs) fabricated using a new i-InAlGaAs/i-GaAs collector barrier structure. The current gain at a low collector-base voltages was improved, enabling the RHETs to operate at low collector-emitter voltages and to decrease the transit time. A cutoff frequency f(T) of 121 Ghz was achieved at a temperature below 77 K with an emitter current density of 6.7 x 10(4) A/cm2. This is the highest value yet reported for either hot electron transistors or the quantum-effect devices.
